Bad Grammar
"This profile is private. You must be this user's friend to view their profile."
That is the message that appears when you try to view a private profile. It should read: "This profile is private. You must be this user's friend to view his/her profile." ^_~ Grammar is life!

Re: Bad Grammar
It matters very little. Your input is probably appreciated, but this would probably be more effective if you simply PMed a staff member.

Re: Bad Grammar
It's basically an accepted loss these days.
We know it's wrong but using his/her in its stead just looks wrong now. Nobody said that the rules of grammar are unchangeable. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/their 2 : his or her : his , her , its —used with an indefinite third person singular antecedent |
